  1. Jacob –

    I am very pleased and content with Montana Leather’s customer service and quality. I ordered an 8 and 12oz 3×1 sqr. ft. Tooling Leather pieces and received them within 5 days of my purchase (I paid lowest shipping cost). The pieces are cut from their Hermann Oak Midgrade leather, but I wouldn’t have guessed that as their is only one minor flaw on both pieces; I only lost about 0.1 sqr. ft. of leather total. The pieces are almost perfect rectangles with nice straight edges on all four sides (one piece is curvy on one side, which is expected as cows aren’t shaped like rectangles, however, they generously measured a 3×1 rectangle and left the curvy end on it which gave me some extra leather). Both pieces are very uniform in thickness, varying by less than 1/32″. I will absolutely buy more leather from here in the future.

    Great piece of leather. This is my first order and I have learned to be careful what I ask for. I ordered a 11-12 piece of leather and boy is it thick. It looks great and is very soft and I am looking forward to working with it.

  3. firescale00 (verified owner) –

    I had really high hopes of finally finding a reliable place to order tooling leather after I ordered a small piece that was really nice. After receiving two 2×3 pieces of different thicknesses I was pretty disappointed. The pieces I received were wrinkled beyond use, some of the worse leather I have ever ordered. I have had it sitting in my storage room for months and will never use it. The search continues.

  4. whitetailscout (verified owner) –

    Most of the piece I received is nice and clean, but one hand -size piece is so bad that I’m going to need to dye it to use it.

  5. deerhunter08 (verified owner) –

    Ive never tried herman oak first time trying it. love it great price aswell

  6. Steve Hartkopf (verified owner) –

    Beautiful piece of leather for a good price and the piece was a few inches bigger than described. So, 5-stars.

  7. tommycarl50 (verified owner) –

    First time purchase… nice consistent color and thickness, no defects on this one. Engraved very nicely on my laser.

  11. Mark Johnson (verified owner) –

    Was totally elated with my last purchase. Superior, top quality, # 1 product. I was actually surprised that the sheet of leather I received was so good. I used it on my crafts projects ( two 18” American Native Medicine Shields ) the left overs I’ll use to make chokers, wrist bands, etc…
    Keep up the good work guys. I ordered another sheet yesterday. Very happy with my purchase. The photo is of a unfinished shield, but the hard part is done. FYI : the leather was thick, but actually easy to cut.
    Once you know the trick. 🤣

    First time I purchased something from Montana Leather. Leather I received was exactly as described. Very pleased with what they sent me. Will definitely order more different leather pieces in the near future.

  18. James Carter (verified owner) –

    This is some of the most consistent leather I have ever worked with, and although you can expect extremely minor blemishes, its perfect for any project you have in mind. I make holsters for a side business, and my customers are always satisfied and impressed at the quality of the leather. Thank you for your quality products Montana Leather!

    I’m fairly new to leatherworking but, I was trying to find a better place to buy leather. I ordered a small piece that I thought was a good quality. You can see in this picture that it is has waves (un-even) and has lines the length of the piece. Maybe you can direct me to a place I can buy better leather.

  21. Pat@MontanaLeatherCompany (store manager) –

    Hey Art! Sorry to hear you’re not happy with the quality. Perfection is of course never a thing with full grain leather, but it does look like you got a piece that we wouldn’t normally send out. I’d be happy to arrange for return if you’d like, just give me a call or email and ask for Pat.

    Better than expected. Received a phone call from the company about product not available in ordered thickness. They were great in explaining a substitute. The leather is beautiful. Order arrived in a few days after placing.

  32. Stephanie Arnold (verified owner) –

  33. David S. (verified owner) –

    I called and ask if it was supple, or soft and was told it was, but it is not. Perhaps I need to send them a piece that I got else where so that they know what soft is, meaning not stiff. There service was fine though.

  34. Pat@MontanaLeatherCompany (store manager) –

    Hey David! I’m not sure how the confusion arose exactly, but veg tan leather like this is generally as stiff as it gets with leather. We can arrange for a return to be made on your current piece, as well as find a better match for what you need. Just give us a call at 406-245-1660 or email us at [email protected].

    The size was good, however there were some imperctions.
    The biggest problem was the shipping box was torn and the delivery was made in the pouring rain and left on the front step, consequently over 1/2 of the piece was soaked. Not very happy with USPS.

Q & A

Would these leather pieces be a suitable material to cut insoles from? Ian Rudie asked on January 21, 2023

Hey Ian! You certainly can cut from these to make insoles. Typically though, insoles are cut from sole bends that are a bit stiffer that typical veg tan leather like Hermann Oak. We have sole bends on the website here as well, just do a search for them and they'll pop up.

Can you tell me what part of the animal this would be cut from? Gabriel asked on November 26, 2022

Hey Gabriel! These are cut from Hermann Oak veg tan leather sides, from the back down to the belly. Horizontally, the pieces can come from anywhere from the butt to the shoulder.
